| 2 | Castles are fortified structures widely used by Middle Ages BlueBlood elites. They are different from mansions, since these are homes for relaxing in.

While purists may make distinctions between castles, palaces and mansions, the distinctions can be hard to make for non-experts, since even palaces and mansions built as relaxation hangouts will often have fortifications and military-looking features. |
